Without NHL participation this year, this has proved to be a plucky group representing Canada on the world stage. Their only blemish so far is a shootout loss to the Czech Republic.

Standing in Canada’s way is Germany, a surprise semi-finalist after upsetting Sweden in the semis.

The winner of this game will take on the winner of the other semi-final, between Russia (OAR) and the Czech Republic (11:40 pm PT / 2:40 am ET). The gold medal game is on Saturday at 8:10 pm PT / 11:10 pm ET.

Medals will be awarded after the women’s free skate and Canada has two skaters in contention for a medal. Kaetlyn Osmond is third after the short program while Gabrielle Daleman sits seventh.

Both Osmond and Daleman stood on the podium last year, so expectations are high.
